Amityville Long Island Photos of 2013


While visiting the annual Amityville Historic Fair where my son Mike Boyle does his Reenacting of the Civil War ( Union side) I decided it was a great time to take more photos of Amityville. 

The Amityville Triangle Building Changed from 1910 to 2013

The Triangle Building from the Broadway side of the Amityville Landmark Building that was built in 1892 by Erastus Ketcham

East side of Broadway route 110, the larger building is where the Movie house was at one time, but like most of them on Long Island it closed down and the building remodeled.

The Village Clock erected in memory of the Amityville Citizens lost in World War One.


The Park Ave Schools Sports field looks such as it did back in the late 1940's early 1950's when I went to Amityville schools


The rear end of the old Park Central and new addition the Band room is gone, the smokestack looks new, but is much like the old one.


Saint Paul's Lutheran Church across from the Park Ave Schools is proved a little, but other wise much the same as I remember from back in 1940's and 50's Amityville Long Island.

Amityville added in 2004 yet another Park Ave School between what was the Park Central School and Park South School there by joining them. I guess it is just called Park Avenue School now. The Park North School is now not a school at all, but an Administration building.  They deserve credit new building was the same style as the old buildings.

Amityville Long Island 1925 – 1986           Access to Amityville by Workingclass People from the city became easier with improvements in the Long Island Railroad and with Robert Moses’s Parkways.  Jobs for the workingclass came available as America prepared for war with the opening factories as Republic Aviation, Grumman and others in the area.  So, the population of Amityville grew from the early workingclass farmers and Bay-men to the addition of factory and commuter workingclass which still makes up the population of Amityville.   \ Beautiful drawing of an aerial view of south Amityville in about 1925  An Aerial Drawing of the village area of Amityville  Looking south down Broadway on the right is the Bank of Amityville  Amityville High School from 1932 until 1953  Then a Jr School/ middle school Amityville Jr. High and elementary School   Don Thomson posted this photo on Facebook thinks photo was taken around 1936 it is for sure that it was

Amityville Long Island Amityville is the western most village in the town of Babylon in the county of Suffolk. Accord to the Amityville Historical Society Amityville was first settled by Europeans from Huntington a settlement on the north shore of Long Island then call Nassau Island in 1657. Huntington was settled in 1653 so it didn’t take long for them to wonder south. They first they called the land South Huntington or West Neck South bought from the native tribe that they called the Massapequa Indians in 1697. I don’t know if anyone knows the price they paid them. There was only a small population of salt hay farmers and fishermen until the late 19 th early 20 th centuries when the wealthy people from the City of New York found the village attracted by the Amityville River.
